What 🏜️ means

🏜️ is mostly literal and neutral. People use it for desert travel, safaris, camel rides and heatwaves. A common playful use is "dry": a group chat where nobody replies, a dry texter, or no rain for weeks. It can also mean a place feels empty or deserted. In India it often goes with Jaisalmer and Rajasthan trips, and in the Gulf with desert safaris. It is milder than πŸ₯΅ for heat, since it describes the place more than the feeling.
